Kaappeissa

Kaappeissa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the cabinets" or "in the cupboards." It is a commonly used phrase in everyday Finnish conversation, referring to the storage spaces typically found in kitchens and other rooms of a house. These cabinets are designed to hold various items, such as dishes, food, cleaning supplies, or personal belongings.
